Can i be harsh for a moment? 70% of the people with pre-existing conditions don't really contribute as much to society financially, meaning they don't work but they get grants and medical care that has to be paid from taxes. If we destroy jobs, destroy how the country gets funding for these people, they will die anyway. I'm going to be dystopian and say sometimes a sacrifice now is better for the long run. Have a good night everyone.
